SMPS capacitors
Spectrum Advanced Specialty Products offers a line
of SMPS capacitors designed to provide superior
performance in high frequency switching applications.
These capacitors are ideal for high energy density
products found in both military and commercial markets.
•
Mil-PRF-49470 Qualified, DSCC 87106 and custom
product available
•
Leaded parts safeguard against thermal
and mechanical stresses
•
Capacitance values to 0.01 µF to 47 µF
Spectrum’s high-speed Switch Mode Power Supply
capacitors have the following characteristics when
compared to other capacitive elements:
•
Lower Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
•
Lower Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL)
•
Lower ripple voltage and less self heating
